Bold, surprising, spicy, and irresistible, we blend cocoa with carefully selected flavours from ginger to raspberries to delight your senses.
The origins of chocolate
Today’s hot chocolate has ancient origins. It comes from the drink known as xocoatl. A hot drink made from cocoa, water and beans, with a pinch of pepper, that was first enjoyed by the Mayans. As time went by and other cultures imbibed this time-honoured treat, the drink took on sweeter and softer notes, thanks to the addition of vanilla and spices. This was the recipe favoured by the Aztec emperor Montezuma II, who offered it to the conqueror Hermán Cortés in the 1500s, introducing Europe to the joys of chocolate.
